9th day, guilin. wow

Woke up early today, went down for breakfast, was told there was none i can have a sandwich or toast. Thanks.

Waiting for the toast, the waitres trys to bring me a plate of noodles. How strange, turned out it was for amber (girl i meet because of this) she had the last of the food. great.

Anyway amber and i get talking she is here with a boy friend danny. and we all decided to get a taxi to take us to 3 beauty spots round, guilin. the beauty spot, red caves, and the seven star park.

Taxi was really cheap cost us 50 yeun between us (4-5 pounds) for the whole day and the taxi waited everywhere we went.

Ok first was - beauty spot. not great especially for 50 yeun. but had a big mountain thing in the middfle which gave yuo a nice view, but you couldn't actually get a good picture of the "mountain" as it was surrounded by buildings or trees. shame it did look nice, but there are loads and loads of mountain round this area. so plenty of pics anyway.

next was the red cave (it wasn't called that but i cant remember what it was called so there !!!)

that was cool lots of different typs of rocks and they had different colour lights on there, which made them even pretter, (see pic)

next was seven star park. was bigger and better then the beauty spot, and cheaper. oh well never mind. park was really pretty had mountians again in the back, makes everything look so pretty. had some really nice waterfuls aswell (see pic, and wow what a pic must be getting better)

also had a (sad) zoo. i know i said to a few i wasn't going to go to one in china, but this was in the park and free, so why not. very sad they had, monkeys pandas, birds some animals i have never seen looked like a cross between a panda and a racoon. anbd was racoon size.

But it was sad thought these cages had nothing in for them to playw ith, they were mostly on there own. and looked very sad. poor thinks, wouldnt happen in england would have rspca in at once.

Was ok thought, panda was nice to see, but again alone and looked sad with nothing in the cage. But i suppose it was better then i had expected.

that night just chilled out, found out a girl from my room was going to go down the river li to yangshao (guilin but less touristy im told ) however she has booked a speedboat for like half price then a normal boat but needs 3 more. great there is three here, danny amber and myself. that shoudl be good, have been told yuo cant miss a trip down the river li.

sorry if this is bad to read and spell, i am in a hurry and will change it soon. sorry peps not got enough time to proof read. sorry.
